This year’s Coaching at Work Coaching Person of the Year award goes to Gladeana McMahon, recently re-elected chair of the Association for Coaching (AC) UK.
Nomination comments include “unstinting generosity to other coaches; work for AC, and developing Cognitive Behavioural Coaching”, and “not just for what she does that is overt? but for what she quietly does to support coaches and coaching”.
Other nominations include Mike Hurley, past president of EMCC UK, Louise Buckle of KPMG for “galvanising coaching sponsors into action”, Anne Scoular of Meyler Campbell “for her relentless optimism and chutzpah”, Anthony Grant (Sydney University’s Coaching Psychology Unit) “for forcing us to face up to the shortcomings of evaluation and the tendency to over-claim on impact”, Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey for “their continued work on Immunity to Change”, and Brian Fitzgerald, learning and development director at Atkins “for his work in establishing a business-led coaching culture at the most senior levels in a hard-headed business”.
David Clutterbuck, founder of Clutterbuck Associates, is awarded our new Coaching at Work Mentoring Person of the Year award.
David Megginson from Sheffield Hallam University narrowly missed out on receiving the award. Once again, many of you nominated the editor Liz Hall for Coaching Person of the Year. Thank you.
